DESCRIPTION :
The equipment consists of a distillation still made of stainless steel. the feed in the still is heated externally by heater. The vapours form the top of the vessel are condensed in the type condenser by circulating cooling water. Temperature of the feed mixture is controlled by means of a digital temp. controller. The condensate is collected in a receiver made of stainless steel.
The present set-up has a facility to interface the system with computer which enables to log the experimental data using computer. The educational software and data-logging package has been developed for unit. The software environment base is of Labview of NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS, USA. This software is compatible to interfacing unit designed by “Lab Smith”. This software package provides a comprehensive educational software environment within which the investigations can be performed. This software is capable to tabulate the sample readings according to the requirement of experiment under study and results obtained can be compared. The real time data acquisition can be done by interfacing the set-up with computer using software. Software allows the user to have control on data logging, printing the stored data, preparing spread sheets in Excel etc.
